Feras Fayyad RELEASED

Feras Fayyad is a Syrian filmmaker from Dadeekh, a village near the city of Idlib. He was imprisoned on Nov. 30, 2011. Feras met screenwriter Ellesar Hasan, from the Homs suburb of Salamiyah, during the course of the Syrian revolution. Both 27-year-olds were working in Damascus. Feras and Ellesar fell in love in the summer of 2011 and married in early August. The morning after their wedding, they marched together in a nonviolent demonstration. Ellesar left the country on Nov. 29; Feras planned to join her to attend a film exhibit abroad. He was arbitrarily detained when he checked into his flight the next day at Damascus International Airport.

Feras Fayyad has a degree from the École Internationale de Création Audiovisuelle et de Réalisation, France. His film, Run, won an award. Ellesar is a tireless advocate for his release. Join her in demanding Feras Fayyad’s unconditional immediate release from arbitrary detention in Syria.
